The Arundel Vocal Arts Society celebrates the beginning of its 15th season Sunday with "A Holiday Fanfare" at Calvary United Methodist Church in Annapolis.

"Beginning our 15th year and being firmly established is really something to sing about," said President Sandra Boyd.

Glenette Schumacher, director of the society's 60-voice choir and orchestra, has chosen a program reflecting the Christmas season and the society's history.

Franz Schubert's Mass in G will be the centerpiece of the program. The society presented the work in 1996 with La Camerata Nuovo at the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem, built over the site where, legend has it, Jesus was born.
